So, I had been stressing this last week about graduation (what shoes to wear to said graduation) and finals in particular. Specifically, my Physiology 480 final which I: a.) must do well on to not get a C. b.) must do well on to live up to very nice thoughts the prof, has about me. …and then I got Swine Flu. Also known by its friendly scientific name H1N1 for the glycopeptides its expresses (yes, I am a bio geek).
Anyway, it started with that buzzy-tingly-lung-feeling on Wednesday night after Margarita’s with Elise & her mom. Friday morning my body added on the fun cough before my final. Saturday progressed to hacking before my tattoo. Saturday night, I came home for Mother’s Day, and in spite of the muscle achiness, fatigue, cough and buzziness there was no fever. Enter Sunday morning.
I wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck and running a small fever of 100.8. Take some Ibuprofen, pass out for a few hours, don’t want to drink or eat, the usual. Wake up and feel like my body is a balloon. Like each finger is one of those balloon animal balloons. And my head is like the biggest balloon ever. Like those balloons you give out in birthday treat bags that you punch. While I know this is clearly not the case and I am in fact delusional, I cannot calm down. Take out the thermometer and hello temperature of 102.5. Take more drugs, fall asleep. 3 hours later, still riding the hot-body temp express, decide to go to the hospital.
Now, I pretty much knew I had the flu. But, the sustained temperature was concerning me. As was the fact that there was no way I could study for my exam if I was trippin’ balls about the fact that my body felt like a balloon. So, the hospital confirmed that I had Influenza Type A, with a touch of bronchitis for good measure. But, they won’t know if I have Swine Flu (H1N1) for a couple of days…. yes, I know that makes my title misleading.
In either case, I am not supposed to go to school until 5/18 or until I get rid of my cough and fever. Yay! Get out of Final free card. No! Miss my College graduation. As of right now, no fever (yay!), but still tons of painful coughing (no!). As for my final, my physio professor is completely cool with it, and says to e-mail him then above conditions of my health come about so I can take it. Here’s to hoping I get to take my exam Thursday morning and graduate that afternoon!
I need to carry a laser pointer with me everywhere.
